## Locked Choice Mechanic
The Pawn Shop in the Village operates on a **locked choice system** where only one item can be unlocked at a time through trading:
### The Trade Chain
```
Copper Coin
↓ (Trade)
Nightingale
↓ (Trade)
Flute
↓ (Trade)
Tinderbox
↓ (Trade)
Paintbrush
```
### Implications for Puzzle Design
1. **Forks the Inventory**: Players must choose which path to pursue early
2. **Represents Lost Opportunities**: Trading away Nightingale means cannot use it for gnome puzzles later
3. **Strategic Sacrifice**: One-time trades require planning ahead
4. **Independent Discovery**: Players learn the chain through experimentation
### Dependency Note
For the purpose of this dependency chart, we treat each item as **UNLOCKED** at the moment of acquisition. The chart shows the locks (what's required to access an item) rather than the mini-game of sequential trading.
## Key Dependency Chains
### Long Path (Full Experience)
Magic Map → Isle of Wonder puzzles → Isle of the Beast (initial) → Minotaur's Maze → Isle of the Beast (return with Shield) → Logic Cliffs → Charm Spell → Realm of the Dead → Paint Door Castle Entry → Best Ending
```
Magic Map → Five Gnomes → Isle of Wonder exploration →
Isle of the Beast (initial) → Minotaur's Maze →
Return with Shield → Logic Cliffs → Charm Spell →
Realm of the Dead → Paint Door Castle Entry → Best Ending
```
### Short Path (Faster)
Magic Map → Isle of Wonder puzzles → Isle of the Beast (initial) → Minotaur's Maze → Isle of the Beast (return with Shield) → Disguise Entry → Castle → Standard Ending
```
Magic Map → Five Gnomes → Isle of Wonder exploration →
Isle of the Beast (initial) → Minotaur's Maze →
Return with Shield → Beauty's Dress Disguise → Castle → Standard Ending

## Parallel Puzzle Paths
The game features parallel paths at several points:
The game features parallel paths at several points where puzzles can be solved in any order:
1. **Isle of Wonder exploration**: Five gnomes can be solved in any order
2. **Beast's domain**: Getting brick, meeting creature, and preparing for archers can overlap
3. **Castle entry**: Two distinct paths (paint door vs. disguise) converge at the finale
1. **Village exploration**: Pawn Shop trading, Ferryman, Jollo, and Map trade are all independent
2. **Five Gnomes**: All five gnomes can be satisfied in any order
3. **Isle of Wonder**: Iceberg Lettuce, Flute/Flowers, and Tea Cup are independent
4. **Minotaur's Maze**: Tile puzzle, skull, coins, and brick are independent
5. **Isle of the Beast (return)**: Shield and Scythe (for hedge) are parallel paths
6. **Castle entry**: Paint door vs. Beauty's dress are two distinct paths that converge
## Legend
## Node Naming Convention
- **Rectangles with sharp corners** (red tint): Problem nodes - obstacles or puzzles that must be solved
- **Rectangles with rounded corners** (green tint): Solution nodes - items collected or actions taken
- **Gold nodes**: START and END milestones
- **Arrows**: Dependency flow (solving A enables B)
This chart uses standardized naming for consistency:
- **`A_[action]`**: Action nodes (e.g., `A_TALK_TO_FERRYMAN`, `A_USE_SHIELD_STATUE`)
- **`O_[item]`**: Outcome nodes (e.g., `O_RECEIVE_RABBIT_FOOT`, `O_RECEIVE_MAGIC_MAP`)
- **`P_[problem]`**: Problem nodes (e.g., `P_PROBLEM_GNOMES`)
- **`C_[consequence]`**: Consequence nodes marking phase transitions
## Color Legend
| Node Type | Fill Color | Border Color |
|-----------|------------|--------------|
| START/END | Gold (#FFD700) | Dark Gold |
| Problems | Light Red (#FFB3B3) | Dark Red |
| Actions | Light Green (#B3FFB3) | Dark Green |
| Outcomes | Light Blue (#B3D9FF) | Dark Blue |
## Mermaid Configuration
This chart uses `flowchart TD` (top-down direction) for clear hierarchical flow from prerequisites through problem recognition to solution.
